Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

1) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares ALPR data;2) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives ALPR data;3) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares “hot list” information;4) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives “hot list” information;

This information is easily available within the Agency’s LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this data is to generate an “Agency Data Sharing Report” PDF file from within LEARN. To do this, a user may simply go to the “Sharing” section of LEARN and select “Output Report.” A CSV/XLS file containing these records would also satisfy this request.

The instructions for extracting this data is described on pages 62-63 of the LEARN Agency Manager Guide, which may be found at this link:

The aggregate number of “detections” (i.e. license plate scans and associated data) collected during 2016. The aggregate number of detections collected during 2017. The aggregate number of “hits” (i.e. times that a plate on a hotlist was detected) during 2016. The aggregate number of “hits” during 2017.

This information is easily available within the Agency’s LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this data is to generate a “Dashboard Hit Ratio Report” PDF file from within LEARN. We would prefer the data for each year to be provided separately.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

I wanted to follow up on the following Illinois Freedom of Information Act. request, copied below, and originally submitted on May 31, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
